Comments from drafting[edit]

Comment: Thank you! I have found some more sources, but haven't had time to read them and include them. I wasn't sure if it should be an article either, but I thought I'd start here and see what happened. * Doctormomma (talk) 01:44, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: A scholarly, peer-reviewed source has been added. It has other citations that could be useful to include as well. * Doctormomma (talk) 21:19, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Please remove the phrases saying that the word was used here and there. It is a cherry-picking original research based on primary sources (frowned upon in wikipedia). Wait for a secondary source to say someting on the history of this neologism. Instead, use these references as sources for information to be added to this article.

A bit NOTHOWTO[edit]

Though cases range in severity, people who experience maskne find that flare-ups can occur anywhere on the face that is typically covered by a mask.^[1] For example:

Jawline
Cheeks
Lips
Nose
Ears

Preventative measures and treatment for maskne can include:

Swapping and/or washing masks frequently
Washing face at least twice a day
Limiting facial cosmetics when wearing a mask for an extended amount of time
Using over the counter acne medicine as needed or as directed by a dermatologist^[2]

I move the above here from the article because I don’t think it is encyclopedic. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:08, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
